A gifted and sadly forgotten musician these days.

He went loopy for Jesus thanks to Bob Dylan inviting him to his church.

What is it with Bob Dylan and introducing talented people to mind-numbing intoxicants? He introduced the Beatles to pot and now this.

I like almost every religious song that sounds good, especially classical ones---I ignore the lyrics. This is my favorite: http://youtu.be/Ipp0H8tv5Hw

I like Bobby McFerrin's version of this.

A cynical habit of thought and speech, a readiness to criticise work which the critic himself never tries to perform, an intellectual aloofness which will not accept contact with life’s realities â€" all these are marks, not as the possessor would fain to think, of superiority but of weakness. -TR

Guilty pleasure since I saw "o' brother where art thou?". As a matter of fact, I like quite a lot of gospel.

To say it in the words of Tim Minchin:

That whole soundtrack is fabulous.

I thought that was a terrific movie, based on Homer's Odyssey, and  George Clooney's  best movie, and his singing was hilarious and well done. Solitary

It was. I loved their version of the Cyclops, too.

I think I was wrong about Clooney singing the song, but he did a great job faking it. I also have a thing for Holly Hunter, and Goodman was also great as were as others. http://www.imdb.com/video/screenplay/vi1024433177/

As with others, there are a few Christmas songs I like a lot.  O Holy Night comes to mind, I love the Nat King Cole version, and also some of the female operatic versions, very beautiful.
I also like the music from Les Miserables despite some of it having a tine overt religious message. 

There are a few others I'll occasionally catch myself singing or humming and think to myself how funny that is.

The old Christian hymns I grew up with, I still find beautiful and deeply moving. I don't really care for Christian Rock though.
Remember, we didn't leave the stone age because we ran out of rocks.
